North London pubs that have given up their kitchen to a Thai food franchise are 10 a penny. Some of them are good, but many offer nothing more than a gelatinous ball of sticky rice and a limp, watery curry.
Less common is a hostelry taking real pride in the venture and offering the standard of Siamese cuisine that is available in the Clarendon.
Formerly known as the Nobody Inn, the Clarendon has enlisted the help of Thai master chef Toi, a previous winner of an award from Archant – the company which publishes the Gazette – for his efforts to cook up a menu of real choice and flavour.
Our soups were excellent – hot and sour and wonton respectively – complete with invigorating spices and chunky meat and vegetables.
The crispy coated mushrooms and prawn in a golden blanket were both moist, battered delights. And the main courses were also immensely satisfying – the red curry had a good kick but not enough to overpower the rest of the flavours.
The Clarendon,
92 Mildmay Park
Tel: 020 7249 6430
Mains: From £6.95
Wines: £14.95 a bottle
Children welcome: Yes, before 7pm
Disabled access: No disabled toilet
The sizzling beef hotplate was a heady and aromatic delight and the weeping tiger – chargrilled strips of steak with a mint, coriander and lime dressing – was a very toothsome combination.
The price is right, and with the pub serving a good selection of ales, the Clarendon is perfect for a quick bite on a Saturday afternoon – or indeed any day of the week.

"The overpopulation of animals in the South is unreal," Katie Kincaid, secretary of the Alabama Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, tells Brooke Carbo in Sunday's Star article Unsheltered Part 1: Alabama's shelter pets head north to find adoptive families.
On a related note, The Atlantic reports on a severe dog population problem in Romania:
It seems the stray dogs of Bucharest have been holding back the Romanian capital's attempts to reshape itself as a modern European metropolis.
According to the city government, a staggering 64,000 feral dogs live on Bucharest's streets, giving the metro area, population 2.3 million, more than twice as many street dogs per capita as Detroit, its closest U.S. rival. Last week, a stray dog debate that had previously been more about public health, animal welfare and Bucharest's image took a tragic, urgent turn, when a 4-year-old boy died after being mauled by a dog pack. Following an understandable public outcry, Bucharestians will vote on October 6 on whether or not to allow euthanasia for the city's entire stray dog population.

Read more about Bugis and Kampong Glam
Just east of the city centre, Bugis is a neighbourhood with one foot in the past. The old and new are juxtaposed on every corner with business hotels beside street markets and the crowds on the footpaths and MRT are as likely to be on their way to the mosque as they are to the mall.
Bugis is named for the Bugis tribe, seafaring people from Indonesia reputed to dabble in piracy, who came to Singapore in the early 19th century to trade and established kampongs (villages) in this area. After the arrival of the British one of these settlements, Kampong Glam, was designated the home for wealthy Muslims, including Malay royalty and Arab merchants, who built the Istana Kampong Glam palace and Sultan Mosque — two magnificent buildings that still stand today.
In the post-WW2 era Bugis became a centre for an entirely different type of trade — prostitution. Fuelled by sailors on shore leave, Bugis Street gained a reputation for ... Read our complete Bugis and Kampong Glam travel guide

Two years after her husband's unexpected death in 1879, Cooper enrolled at Oberlin College in Ohio. In 1884, she graduated with a degree in mathematics, becoming one of the first African American women to graduate from the school. Cooper returned to Raleigh and taught math, Greek and Latin at St. Augustine's until 1887, when she was invited to teach math and science at the Preparatory High School for Colored Youth (later known as M Street and today as Dunbar High School) in Washington, DC, the largest and most prestigious public high school for African Americans in the nation.
In 1892, Cooper published "A Voice from the South by a Black Woman of the South," the first book-length volume of black feminist analysis in the United States. Cooper explored a variety of topics including race relations, poverty, and gender inequality. Across the contexts of religion, education, and literature, she examined the place of African Americans, especially women, in American society. "The time is ripe for action," she wrote, urging all readers to assume an active role in liberating themselves and others from both racism and sexism in order to realize their fullest potential. She encouraged the African American community to take advantage of education and to develop and promote its own folklore, literature, and artistic culture. Well received by black and white critics alike, the collection was regarded as "one of the most readable books on the race question of the South" by the "Kingsley Times" of Iowa.
Because white women routinely excluded them from the growing feminist movement, Cooper and other black women across the nation began to create clubs and associations in the late 19th century that were dedicated to the interests and well-being of the African American community. In Washington, DC, Cooper helped establish local organizations for women, young people, and the poor that addressed a range of issues including education, housing, and unemployment. Cooper also used public speaking as a platform for change. In 1893, she spoke about the needs of African American women at the Chicago World's Fair, and she was one of only two African American women to address the first Pan-African Conference in London in 1900.
In 1902, Cooper became principal of the M Street High School and immediately worked to strengthen the curriculum, which stressed both liberal arts and vocational training. "We are not just educating heads and hands," she stated, "we are educating the men and women of a race." Refusing to use inferior textbooks, Cooper sought to better prepare students for admission to some of the nation's top colleges and universities, including the Ivy League. Four years later, she was removed from her position under allegations of incompetence and misconduct, but more likely because of her steadfast resistance to the racist notion of African Americans' intellectual inferiority. Cooper then taught languages at Lincoln University in Missouri until 1910, when she was invited to return to the M Street High School to teach Latin.
Noted for the breadth of her education, Cooper studied French literature and history for several years before enrolling as a doctoral student at Columbia University in 1914 while also remaining a full-time teacher. As part of her graduate work, she translated "Le Pèlerinage de Charlemagne" (The Pilgrimage of Charlemagne), a medieval epic poem, from Old French into modern French. However, because of her race, the translation — which was published in Paris in 1925 — was never published in the U.S. despite the professional recognition it garnered.
In 1924, Cooper transferred to the University of Paris, Sorbonne, in France and, in 1925, successfully defended her doctoral dissertation, which explored the attitudes of the French toward slavery during the late-18th-century revolutions in France and Haiti. She was only the fourth African American woman in the U.S. to earn a Ph.D. and the first black woman from any country to do so at the Sorbonne.
Cooper retired from teaching at Dunbar High School in 1930 but continued to give lectures, publish essays, and be active in community affairs. During this time, she also served as president of Frelinghuysen University, which offered affordable liberal arts and professional courses for working African Americans in Washington, DC. She retired from her role as president in 1940 but continued to serve Frelinghuysen, which was partly located in Cooper's own home for several years. She privately published her memoir, The Third Step, around 1945.
Cooper died in her home at 201 T Street in Washington, DC, on February 27, 1964. She is buried next to her husband in Raleigh, NC.
Educator, scholar, feminist and activist Anna Julia Cooper gave voice to the African-American community during the 19th and 20th centuries — from the end of slavery to the beginning of the Civil Rights movement — was immortalized through the postage stamp – the 32nd Inductee into Black Heritage Series.
The U.S. Postal Service dedicated the stamp at Washington, DC's Paul Laurence Dunbar High School (previously M Street High School and the Preparatory High School for Colored Youth), where Cooper taught math and science and ultimately served as principal.
"Anna Julia Cooper once said, 'The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class — it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity.' Her actions to support these memorable words during her life are the reason the Postal Service has chosen Ms. Cooper as the subject of the 32nd stamp in the Black Heritage series," said Delores Killette, vice president and Consumer Advocate.
"Cooper wasn't subdued by the color of her skin, her gender, her lack of opportunity, or lack of wealth," Killette added. "She held an instinctive awareness that by virtue of being human, she was entitled to freely know the world and participate in everything it had to offer. This is what ignited the cause of freedom in Anna Julia Cooper."
Joining Killette in dedicating the stamp were Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, (D) District of Columbia, University of Maryland English Professor Carla L. Peterson, 2009 Dunbar High School graduate Malik Shabaazz, Dunbar High School Principal Gerald Austin and Washington, DC, Postmaster Yverne "Pat" Moore.
The 44-cent First-Class Anna Julia Cooper commemorative stamp features a portrait of her created by Kadir Nelson of San Diego, CA, who based his painting on an undated photograph. Nelson worked under the direction of Art Director Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, MD. Available in sheets of 20, 125 million stamps were printed.

I came by invitation to speak about my novel, Pale Blue Light. The event was well attended, thanks to preparation by Kiser and staff and the renowned Anniston Star. Folks were welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable about my subject, the War Between the States.
My book, which has garnered very good reviews, is an historical adventure set during the war. It's a spy thriller, though historically accurate. Pale Blue Light is another and much less known nickname for Confederate Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson.
The thoughtful hostesses even served appetizers true to the period; things like johnny cakes and sweet potato candy. The question/answer segment was a true delight. I have never encountered a more well informed audience.
From the moment I arrived at the library parking lot, I was enveloped in a cloud of Southern hospitality. I will never forget the visit.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all.

Luis Fabiano Has a Hand of God, Too
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
The rules for a hand ball are pretty simple. If the ball touches a player between his shoulder and his fingers, the ball has been handled. When such an infraction occurs, the referee has one option: Awarding a "Direct free kick from the position where the offence occurred (see Law 13 – Position of free kick) or penalty kick."
In many cases, cards are also delivered to the guilty party, including a red card if the offense was deliberate enough.
One thing that shouldn't happen: A goal being awarded after the ball has been handled by the scoring player. For historical sake, ask Diego Maradona, proud owner of the "Hand of God" goal, which was probably done as payback for the Falklands War. Now, thanks to Luis Fabiano's second goal against Ivory Coast. While it was a great finish from Fabiano, because he first controlled the ball with his shoulder, the score shouldn't count.

Flip Up Helmets
Flip up motorcycle helmets
Excellent value for money
Fantastic helmet and excellent value for money. Extremely comfortable and colour keeps me as visible as possible to other road users. For fans of flip front helmets would highly recommend. Also very pleased with service from Sportsbikeshop, will definitely be coming back! :)Mr K Brown - Suffolk
Great value
Very good helmet for the money, comfy material inside, the visor fogs up more easily than my last helmet, but I think that might be because it's quite well sealed under the chin. At this price I wouldn't have thought there are many better helmets out there.CC - London
Great helmet
The MT FLUX Helmet has exceeded my expectations as it is light and very handy with its flip up and visor mechanisms. Very user friendly and a great buy for its price. The sound of wind does get through when traveling at higher speeds but it isn't loud at all. Great buy and Iwould suggest others to get the same.Oliver Heaton - Derby

CARSON CITY — AAA Nevada presented $20,250 Tuesday to the Nevada Division of State Parks to improve directional signs throughout Lahontan State Recreation Area.
AAA Nevada teamed up to help Nevada State Parks help fund projects that would otherwise go unfunded. Throughout their "Summer Road Trip" campaign July 1 through Aug. 30, AAA Nevada donated five dollars to Nevada State Parks for every AAA insurance quote completed within each AAA branch office.
"We are thrilled and extremely grateful to receive AAA's corporate support to improve the experience of our park visitors," said David Morrow, Administrator for Nevada State Parks.
"AAA is deeply committed to the legacy and the preservation of Nevada's unique natural, cultural and historic resources," said Paul Gaffney, president and CEO of AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah.
Lahontan Reservoir, with miles of sandy beach and lots of room to camp, boat, and recreate, is one of Nevada's most popular recreation areas. Lahontan is located on the Carson River, 18 miles west of Fallon and 45 miles east of Carson City on U.S. 50. The park is open year-round and can be accessed from several entrances off U.S. 50 east of Silver Springs, and from an entrance off U.S. 95A, south of Silver Springs via Fir Avenue.

AUSTIN – Friday afternoon, a Travis County jury sentenced Gabrielle Nestande to 10 years probation for the hit-and-run death of 30-year-old Courtney Griffin in May 2011.
"We further find that the defendant has never been convicted of a felony in this state or any other state and we recommend that her sentence be suspended and that the defendant be placed on community supervision," the jury's decision read by the judge.
Nestande had nothing to say as she left the Travis County Justice Complex in the arms of her father.
None of the twelve jurors in the case wanted to speak to journalists. Some ran from the cameras. Other jurors hid their faces.
Bart Griffin, Griffin's father, also declined to speak about the jury's verdict. However, Courtney Griffin's birth mother said this when asked what message this decision sent to the rest of Austin:
"Everybody just go out and drink, get behind the wheel, drive through neighborhoods and hit innocent people that aren't wearing dark clothing on a dark street where anyone should be able to see them. She knew that she killed my daughter," Laurie Griffin said.
On March 25th, a judge will decide the specifics of Nestande's probation. The same judge could also decide to sentence Nestande to up to 180 days in jail.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blackboard Inc. (Nasdaq: BBBB) and Northwestern University have partnered on an integration to make Google Apps(TM) Education Edition available to students within the Blackboard Learn(TM) platform with a single sign on. Developed by Northwestern's Information Technology development team, the Blackboard Building Block(TM) has been released as open source to let other institutions use or build on the technology at no cost.
One of the first campuses to deploy Google Apps two years ago, Northwestern has seen a rapid rise in the number of students who use the popular tools every day. The integration will make their lives simpler and more productive by creating access in the course environment, eliminating the need to log in separately to Blackboard® accounts to check grades or assignments.
This fall over 30 Northwestern faculty members and 1,000 students are using the integration, which automatically enrolls individuals in courses as collaborators on Google's documents, calendars and spreadsheets. As a result, instructors can now leverage Google Apps to enhance their ability to give collaborative assignments and students can more easily organize group meetings, interactions and presentations.
"Google's email and calendars have fast become the preferred way for our students to organize much of their academic and personal lives," said Mort Rahimi, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Northwestern University. "Connecting Google's collaboration and communication tools with Blackboard services is a natural fit. It helps make the Blackboard environment more familiar and productive and it brings together the innovative work of these two technology leaders for higher education."
The Northwestern project is expected to grow rapidly and is being monitored by several interested institutions.
"There is tremendous demand in our user community for the new model of document creation and collaboration that Google has created," said Ray Henderson, President of Blackboard Learn. "This is also a great example of the client led innovation that can occur with strong investment in openness and support for the Blackboard developer community."
"This integration has provided a perfect platform for class members to collaborate with one another and perform all of the tasks required to build a Web site," said Geraldo Cadava, Assistant Professor of History at Northwestern who is teaching a course which requires the creation of a collaborative Web based encyclopedia. "Students in the class write entries, edit them, and continuously modify the site's appearance and layout. They have truly taken ownership of the site, and have demonstrated much excitement about this tool's potential."
The integration for Google Apps is made possible by technology that allows institutions and third parties to create and share enhancements to the Blackboard learning environment. It joins more than 150 free or open source Blackboard Building Blocks(TM) available to the Blackboard community at the Open Source Community for Educational Learning Objects and Tools (OSCELOT) Web site. OSCELOT is an independent volunteer community working to explore, develop and share open source solutions and tools for the educational community.
"We're excited to see Northwestern and Blackboard announcing this Building Block integration," said Gabe Cohen, Google Apps Education Edition Product Manager. "It's great to see Google Apps integrated into platforms like Blackboard Learn, bringing more value to students and teachers by incorporating Google Apps into the Blackboard educational environment. Northwestern University is taking advantage of the power of open platforms and the Web to bring innovative technology to their faculty and student body."

NICE draft guidance recommends treatments for fractured vertebrae
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has today (2 November 2012) opened a consultation on draft guidance which provisionally recommends the use of two treatments for fractured bones in the spine (vertebrae) caused by osteoporosis.
The draft guidance says that percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty are recommended as options for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures only in people:
- who have severe ongoing pain after a recent vertebral fracture (within 6 weeks) despite optimal pain management and
- in whom the pain has been confirmed to be at the level of the fracture (by physical examination and imaging).
Vertebral compression fractures normally occur when the front of the vertebra collapses, and may be caused by trauma, cancer or osteoporosis. When this type of fracture is due to osteoporosis, it can cause the spine to become curved and can also cause loss of height. This can result in pain, difficulties in breathing, gastrointestinal problems and disturbed sleep. Vertebral fractures are more common in women, and the prevalence increases with age. The prevalence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures is difficult to estimate as many of these fractures do not cause lasting symptoms, so are not identified. However, those fractures which are symptomatic, are associated with an increase in mortality.
Vertebroplasty involves injecting bone cement into the solid part of the vertebra, to provide pain relief for people with painful fractures and to strengthen the bone to prevent future fractures. Kyphoplasty without stenting is a variation of vertebroplasty involving inserting a balloon-like device into the solid part of the vertebra and slowly inflating it until it restores the normal height of the bone. When the balloon is deflated, the space is filled with bone cement. Kyphoplasty aims to reduce curvature of the spine.
Professor Carole Longson, Director of the Health Technology Evaluation Centre at NICE, said: "Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures can have a major impact on quality of life, and can be painful and disabling. There can also be significant adverse effects caused by the high doses of analgesics used to treat the pain, which can add to the distress and loss of self-esteem caused by the symptoms. We're therefore pleased to provisionally recommend vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, two treatments that can help to strengthen fractured bone and reduce pain.
"NICE has previously published interventional procedures guidance which set out that vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty were safe enough to be considered for use in the NHS. This draft technology appraisal guidance highlights that as these procedures are very cost effective, providing benefits to patients and value for money, they ought to be offered to the people specified. We welcome comments on these draft recommendations as part of the consultation."
This is draft guidance: NICE has not yet issued final guidance to the NHS.
Notes to Editors
About the draft guidance
1. The draft guidance 'Percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures' is available from 2 November 2012 at: http://guidance.nice.org.uk/TA/Wave22/18.
2. The Committee concluded that the ICERs established for both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty were generally at the lower end of what is usually considered to be cost effective.
3. Several bone cements are available for vertebroplasty. The acquisition cost of the high-viscosity Confidence Spinal Cement System (Johnson and Johnson) is based on the number of vertebrae being treated. The average cost of the kit is £1472. Low-viscosity cements are available and, based on list prices provided by 2 manufacturers (Cook and Stryker), the Assessment Group estimated a cost of £800 per low-viscosity cement vertebroplasty procedure.
4. The Kyphon BKP kit (Medtronic) is available in the UK for kyphoplasty. Kyphon BKP is a CE-marked, single-use sterile pack with a list price of £2600.50 and includes 2 Kyphon Xpander inflatable bone tamps (balloons) and Kyphon ActivOs bone cement with hydroxyapatite.
5. Adverse reactions from vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty related primarily to cement leakage, particularly for vertebroplasty. The Committee heard that leakage could be intradiscal or intravascular, with intravascular leaks increasing the risk of cement pulmonary embolism. The Committee concluded that cement leakage associated with vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty was manageable if a skilled clinician with specialised training in these procedures performs the operation.
6. NICE has already recommended a range of drug treatments to help prevent primary and secondary osteoporotic fractures: Osteoporosis - primary prevention (TA160), Osteoporosis - secondary prevention including strontium ranelate (TA161) and Osteoporotic fractures - denosumab (TA204) .
About NICE
7. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the independent organisation responsible for providing national guidance and standards on the promotion of good health and the prevention and treatment of ill health
8. NICE produces guidance in three areas of health:
- public health - guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention of ill health for those working in the NHS, local authorities and the wider public and voluntary sector
- health technologies - guidance on the use of new and existing medicines, treatments, medical technologies (including devices and diagnostics) and procedures within the NHS
- clinical practice - guidance on the appropriate treatment and care of people with specific diseases and conditions within the NHS
9. NICE produces standards for patient care:
- quality standards - these reflect the very best in high quality patient care, to help healthcare practitioners and commissioners of care deliver excellent services
- Quality and Outcomes Framework - NICE develops the clinical and health improvement indicators in the QOF, the Department of Health scheme which rewards GPs for how well they care for patients
- Commissioning Outcomes Framework - NICE develops the potential indicators for the COF, the scheme starting in 2013, which will help measure the health outcomes and quality of care commissioned by Clinical Commissioning Groups.
10. NICE provides advice and support on putting NICE guidance and standards into practice through its implementation programme, and it collates high quality guidance and evidence-based information to help professionals deliver the best patient care through NHS Evidence.

This just in at Verizon...
Switch to AT&T via amazon.com
I recommend this because it will allow you to use a GSM phone and you will get paid at least $100 to switch carriers. Every time my contract is up I will switch from AT&T to T-Mobile and vice-versa. Since I use an unlocked GSM phone that will work on any GSM network I get the fat amazon rebate and whatever cash the free phone sells for on eBay. Usually about $200 bucks.
And if you travel overseas you can still use your GSm phone.

» From "Lynyrd Skynyrd Bio" // February 26, 2013 2:23:23 AM UTC
@twopennies: I don't know when your Skynyrd days began but you must have missed something. My wife and I started seeing them in Fla in 1976, before the crash. We actually saw them about 10 to 12 times in three different states before the tragedy happened. I like many other thousands of fans thought that was it. Then we saw the Rossington-Collins Band, the Allen Collins Band and Then came the Volunteer Jam in Nashville featuring, Lynyrd Skynyrd. What a show! If you weren't there you don't know what you missed. I can't remember a lot about any of the shows because if you lived in Miami in the 70's & 80's you're lucky if you remember anything at all. But I remember this Ronnie, Steve, Cassie and all the rest were there in Spirit " Bigtime." For the first several shows {including that and after that) Johnnie never sang "Freebird" but after about two years on the road he finally did. Well, we lost Allen, Leon, Billy along the way and they made some substitutions some worked out and some didn't and the guitar work might not be as good, Allen and Steve were two of the best ever and Leon had the Bass covered as Well , Billy Powell was a Great Keyboard Man as well as a good Christian God fearing Man. After all the bad luck, tragidies, drinking and drugs, the Band Still Rocks Better Than anybody. Anything said negative about the bad shouldn't even be printed. And you my friend don't appear to me to be a true Skynyrd fan, I don't care how many shows you've seen. Perhaps you should go back to the beginning and read the Lyrics of the songs and maybe you'll get an understanding of what the Band is about! Sincerely, Slowride5 aka G.Lehnert (pronounced-lynyrd) as in leh'nerd skin nerd.
P.S. I've been to move than 35 shows my man, one time ,4 shows in two different states in less than 6 weeks!!! Anybody know how Gary is doing?

In the past few years, we have witnessed a massive surge in critical events within the technology landscape. Apple launched the iPad (now in its third iteration), which catalysed the adoption of Enterprise Mobility Solutions. Cloud Computing increased in popularity as more business saw past potential security issues – for selected business processes and data. Consumerisation has gone from a likely trend to part of our reality, as more personal devices find their way onto corporate networks. Social media is now dubbed "social business" as all organisations look for ways and means to tap into the social media phenomenon for the benefit of their business.
Digital natives (or millennials) drive a new work ethic, as technology is embedded in all that they do! Rules of engagement have been redefined, as the definition of Public data and of Private data are now open for discussion. A new technology order has descended upon business leaders, and we are truly fascinated and excited by this.
There is no denying the increased demand for technology to enable business efficiencies and create differentiators. With the added complexity of an ever-changing set of tools and options, we provide the ultimate set of independent and objective Advisory, Implementation and Support services to navigate through the noise – without sacrificing innovation. Our global Technology Services organisation is designed to mobilise around industry issues as rapidly as we do around understanding Technology trends and cross-industry implications.

By Hal Boedeker
Staff writer
8:24 AM EDT, August 26, 2013
Julie Harris may have been the most acclaimed actress in Broadway history, but she was a pragmatic performer. She went where the work was and appeared on "Tarzan," "The Love Boat," "Columbo," "Family Ties" and "Knots Landing."
More people may have seen her Lilimae Clements on "Knots Landing" than any of her other performances. On that CBS soap, which ran from 1979 to 1993, Lilimae was the mother of Val (Joan Van Ark).
Fans still cherish Lilimae's lashing out at unstable son Joshua (Alec Baldwin). Lilimae stopped Joshua from tossing his wife, Cathy (Lisa Hartman), off a rooftop by calling him a monster and disowning him. In true melodramatic fashion, he fell to his death. It was a priceless moment in prime-time soaps, and Harris tore into the role.
Harris, who died last week at 87, left an acting legacy of great breadth. In the movies, she may be best remembered as James Dean's love interest in "East of Eden" (1955). Her other well-known movies included "The Haunting," "Requiem for a Heavyweight," "Harper" and "The Hiding Place."
She worked steadily in television and won three Emmys. They came for "Victoria Regina" and "Little Moon of Alban" on "Hallmark Hall of Fame" and for giving voice to Susan B. Anthony in a PBS documentary "Not for Ourselves Alone." Through the decades, she was a TV guest star ("Bonanza," "The Big Valley"), a performer in TV movies and miniseries, and a voice in acclaimed documentaries, including "The Civil War."
In the theater, she won a record five Tonys as lead dramatic actress plus a life achievement prize. (Angela Lansbury and Audra McDonald also have won five Tonys.)
Unlike many stage performers, Harris can be seen in some of her most lauded performances, which are preserved through TV and the movies. She was an Oscar nominee for her tender performance as Frankie in "The Member of the Wedding" in 1952. Her Sally Bowles can be seen in "I Am A Camera" and compared to Liza Minnelli's in "Cabaret." Harris' performances in "The Lark" (as Joan of Arc), "The Last of Mrs. Lincoln" (as Mary Todd Lincoln) and "The Belle of Amherst" (as Emily Dickinson) are captured in TV specials.
Nothing could match seeing her in person. I saw her on tour in Florida in "Driving Miss Daisy" and on Broadway in "Lucifer's Child" (as Isak Dinesen) and "The Gin Game," her final Broadway appearance.
She wasn't a snob about acting. Just watch her in "Knots Landing." She isn't a great lady of the theater slumming in television. She saw a good role, gave it her flourishes and turned it into something memorable.
I know she was great and beloved, but if I ever need reminders, I can check all the film and TV appearances she left behind. The woman could move easily from "The Love Boat" and "Tarzan" to Emily Dickinson and Mary Todd Lincoln. That's versatility.

PRIME Minister David Cameron stepped up the rhetoric over the Welsh NHS today warning 'Offa's Dyke has become the line between life and death'.
Mr Cameron told the Welsh Conservative conference that failings in the health service in Wales were a 'national scandal'.
POLITICAL relationships between the governments of the UK and Wales have hit an all-time low.
Not since the National Assembly was established in 1999 has the public face of this 'family' of nations appeared so sour.
For the early years, Labour was in power in both Westminster and Cardiff Bay. But in 2010, newly elected Prime Minister David Cameron promoted a 'Respect Agenda' with Scotland and Wales.
WELSH Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams will today accuse Labour of sheltering the Welsh government's failings behind a political war on the Wales.
First Minister Carwyn Jones claimed the Conservatives and London media are waging a war not just on Labour, or the Welsh Government but Wales as a nation after a series of attacks on standards in the Welsh health service.
But Ms Williams will tell the Welsh Lib Dem conference in Newport this afternoon that at least some of the complaints levelled at Welsh Labour are factual.
It echoes a theme taken up by Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg who told the Daily Post yesterday: "It's reprehensible that Carwyn Jones is seeking to pretend that a legitimate debate about standards of care in the NHS in Wales is all to do with Westminster politics,it's not.
"It's to do with the health care given to ordinary men and women and families in Wales.
THE future of the air service from Anglesey to Cardiff is under serious scrutiny as the contract approaches its end.
Passenger numbers on the heavily subsidised Valley flights to the capital slumped from 14,700 a year to just over 8,400.
The Welsh Government pays £1.2m a year to maintain the weekday aircraft, plus £300,000 in grant funding to Anglesey council.
The contract with latest operator Citywing is due to expire on December 9 - an opportune time to re-examine its value for money.
An increasingly irritable and furious row between the Conservatives and Labour, Cardiff and London, on the standards in the NHS in Wales shows no sign of abating.
It surfaced again during the showpiece questions to the First Minister in the Senedd.
Parliamentary questions to Wales Office ministers also featured five out of seven from Tory MPs on the health service.
Tory strategists believe that shining a light on failings in the NHS and education in Wales can act as a microcosm of life under Labour ahead of the 2015 General Election.
Surely two grown-up governments in Cardiff and Westminster didn't embark on a major rail project without a deal being struck over who was paying for what?
That's what we were being asked to believe yesterday as First Minister Carwyn Jones locked horns over public funding for the electrification of the South Wales main and Valleys lines.
Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards may well regret a decision to criticise a Welsh hero like Sam Warburton.
Mr Edwards suggested, via Twitter, that the giant forward ought not to skipper the Welsh rugby side after he described himself as 'British'.
The 15-month review of the powers of the National Assembly may have ended in unanimity on the Silk Commission.
But it was clear that a cross-party political consensus to drive their 61 recommendations into law is already in jeopardy.
Inter and intra-party rivalries risk consigning the 220-pages of evidence to the same dusty shelf as the Richard Commission report which preceded it.
ASSEMBLY Members began tossing the first spanners yesterday in what could be a toolbox of problems for the mechanics of council reorganisation in Wales.
First Minister Carwyn Jones had gone through the routine of calling for cross-party consensus on the Williams Commission blueprint for public services.
But the headline plan to cut our 22 local authorities by around half was always going to be potentially explosive.
It emerged that the Welsh Labour leader must negotiate with his own party for agreement between now and the end of March.
THE weighty Williams Commission's blueprint for local government reform was barely a day old as it faced its first major obstacles.
First Minister Carwyn Jones had sought political consensus to take forward the suggested shake up for councils and wider public services developed over eight months by the commission.
That cosy scenario was some way off on Tuesday after opposition parties distanced themselves from the tight three-five years timescale for change, leaving Carwyn Jones to lead his party first into what could be a cauldron of controversy.
Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Liberal Democrats indicated central to their negotiation position would be a switch to the STV method of proportional representation in council elections, not beloved of Labour. Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies outlined some pretty fundamental differences with the way the whole reforms were being handled,.

Burda Magazine 12-2010 No. 102: Alexis Carrington Dress
There are several patterns from Burda I've had my eye on for years and years. This wrap dress with the drapey sleeves is one such. I sewed it way back in August to wear on my dativersary. But, it seemed too late fall for what ended up being a warm summer night. Plus, I thought […]
Burda 9-2012-109: Black Eyelet Dress
I needed a dark / black dress that I hadn't just been seen in. I really don't have a lot of dark clothing. Since I had minimal time to sew, I chose something I'd already traced and worked out my fit issues, Burda 9-2012-109. I made it first in a blue sweater knit. This time, […]
Vogue 8888: Minty Green and Black Lace Chemise
Minty green and black are so retro, aren't they? This is my third foray into sewing clothes I can sleep in. My flannel short set and flannel pyjama pants are still going strong. I made this nightgown last year, but it didn't hold up well. I decided to dig into deep stash and sew this […]
Granny's 90th Birthday Party Dress: Vogue Patterns 8633
As I started to write this blog post, I looked up Carolyn's blog. It was her post that alerted me to this fabric at Metro three years ago (and she sent it to me too!). Then, I clicked the link to Allison C's blog (she bought the same fabric) and see she used the same […]
Vintage Simplicity 8276: House Coat, Art Smock, Lab Coat, Beach Cover Up
I don't really consider myself a modest woman per se. I think there is an appropriate mode of dress for most situations and the bulk of humanity ignores said accepted rules (i.e. football jerseys in church and pajama pants to the grocery store). One thing that is generally acceptable, but I'm too self conscious to do […]

Book Review: Just Make Them Beautiful
Apparently, this last week was the anniversary of Grace Kelley's 1965 wedding to Prince Ranier of Monaco. I thought it was high time I let you know that I *finally* read her wedding dress designer's book, 'Just Make Them Beautiful'. The book was published in 1976 and was limited edition at that time. There are […]
I Finally Read "Over-Dressed"
And, I felt kind of depressed. And have spent the weekend obsessively cleaning out my closets, drawers and basement. I live alone in a three bedroom house and there is stuff in each of those rooms. I want to get down to the things I need. Not just the stuff I want. And, less stuff. […]
Book Review: Sewing Lingerie from the Singer Sewing Reference Library
Guys, I'm so busy these days between work (larger projects, running a Fellowship program) and extra curricular activities (election season). I don't want to tell you I'm on a hiatus from blogging since I may have a whim (like now). But, I will be posting very little until the end of September. I can only […]
Book Review: Singer Sewing Reference Library: Sewing Activewear
I'm at least two projects or more from tackling my athletic wear (I sew by the color on the serger). But, thought you might be interested in a great resource on sewing athletic wear. I managed to purchase most of the Singer Sewing Reference Library in one fell swoop a couple years ago. One of […]

I worked at World Travel Holdings full-time for less than a year
Pros – The call center tends to be high- energy and cheerful. The pay and benefits are competitive
Cons – I have never in my life seen a company where management constantly smiles and presents a facade of caring, but will dismiss you in a heartbeat if the new hire class behind you seems to be able to sell more cruises than you. I was part of a group who were told we were doing well and then the next week fired for "performance issues". We were performing like we were supposed
to, but the management hired a class that did "better" and they fired a lot of us right before . Christmas. They hire you as customer service reps but then when you get on the floor they base
their firing decision strictly on your sales and whether you are quickly taken in by one of the number of cliques in operation in the call center. The problem is your direct supervisor is not
aware of upper managements needs so you can literally meet with your supervisor one day, be told you are doing well and then fired the next day because upper management has changed the performance requirements and not bothered to tell you or your supervisor. I never knew they operated like this, but in hindsight I did notice that they were constantly hiring new classes, and people already on the floor would disappear. It is one thing to fire people because they do not meet your goals, but quite another to fire people because they meet your goals, but you think the newly hired group will do better. Oh yeah, their policy states however you will always know where you stand based on their coaching. They over hire , state a goal to reach, but it does not matter if you reach the goal, if the batch of hires behind you happen to be better sales reps.
Advice to Senior Management – Advertise for sales reps, not customer service reps, and try being honest and upfront with canidates.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

What is Abdominal Swelling?
Abdominal swelling, also known as stomach bloating or abdominal distention, is a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of intestinal gas. The abdominal wall swells when gas is trapped in the intestines or peritoneal cavity – gas is produced at a higher rate than normal. Your abdomen feels full and tight, even when you have not eaten.

A short two-and-a-half-hour flight from New York (one hour from Miami), the Turks & Caicos Islands of the British West Indies consist of 40 different islands and cays, only eight of which are inhabited. The most well-known of the Islands is Providenciales ("Provo" to the locals), the center of the tourism industry, with a wide range of hotels, restaurants, attractions, and facilities. Among the consistently highest rated of the boutique hotels on Provo is The Somerset on Grace Bay.
One of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, The Somerset stands just steps from the azure waters and white sands of Grace Bay Beach on the Atlantic side of Provo. The Somerset's 53 rooms (ranging in size from the 260-square-foot standard to the 5,300-square-foot five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathrooms penthouse suites), are spread among five buildings that surround landscaped swimming pools and a short boardwalk to the beach. The accommodations themselves are luxurious, featuring oversized master suites (some with wrap-around terraces); full marble baths; gourmet kitchens with Viking® appliances, wood cabinets, and granite countertops; spacious closets; marble floors; terraces; complementary wireless Internet access; and plasma televisions with cable, DVD/CD surround sound systems and iHome docking stations.
Corporate meetings and events take place in both the indoor and outdoor spaces at The Somerset. (With 350 days a year of sunshine and average temperatures of 75 degrees to 77 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and 82 degrees to 86 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, meeting outdoors is natural.) Most intimate, the resort's O'Soleil restaurant (called "surprisingly compelling" by Food & Wine Magazine) can accommodate as many as 50 in its Zen Garden, and as few as 10 in the Wine Room. Outdoors, The Somerset's croquet lawn—home to "extreme croquet" matches—provides a hibiscus bordered reception space for as many as 400 guests. Groups of up to 200 attendees can gather at the LunAsea Bar by the resort's infinity-edge pool deck for casual outdoor dining enhanced with tropical breezes.

Apple's fanboys spread product rumors faster than the speed of light, so Jefferies analyst Peter Misek must have known his 2011 notes predicting an Apple television launch in mid-2012 would send Apple fans into states of rapture. Bummer, then, that he turned out to be way too early.
Apple TV isn't hitting shelves anytime soon. Misek isn't the only one at fault -- everyone got caught up in the Apple guessing game. The New York Times, for instance, reported that Apple was set to announce a TV set by late 2012. But it was Misek who made some of the most specific forecasts. He said he had knowledge of Japanese manufacturer Sharp being asked to produce Apple TV screens. Misek recently revised his outlook, and now expects Apple TV to launch in September or October of 2013. We'll see.
It's been a strong year for stocks, and these ten Fortune 500 companies have outshined the broader market. Nearly all of them have doubled. From Bank of America to Whirlpool, here are the biggest winners.

The Ales
4.5 | Best bitter
This is a superb classic bitter with a delicate aroma of hops and a complex palate of robust hop flavours, delightfully balanced by a prominent malty character and finish.
5.6 | Strong Ale
This commanding IPA-style beer is golden in colour, with a wave of hop aromas leading to a balance of bitterness and sweetness in the flavour, plus a lasting grapefruit finish.
6.5 | Strong Ale
This distinctive, full-bodied, smooth, mature beer has a primarily sweet and malty character which bursts out with rich fruit cake and toffee flavours.
4.3 | Best bitter
This russet-hued ale has an inviting thick and creamy white head and delicate citrus aroma, leading to a unique spicy and floral flavour. Thrapple is the Scottish word for 'throat', so this is the ideal beer with which to 'douse your thrapple'.
4.2 | Best bitter
This classic Kentish ale is amber in colour, with a spicy hop aroma, leading to mellow malt flavours. These balance the hops' bitterness, resulting in a warm, fruity finish, with hints of spice.

Customer Reviews
Seriously, guise
Why are there such negative reviews? Sure you have to pay to get the full functionality out of the app, but it's only $3 for a month subscription! The main difference between this and Pandora is obviously the lack of adds, plus each station is tailored to your taste. The app has not ONCE crashed nor skipped for me. If you guys can't dish out $3 a month for this service, then you're totally missing out.
Awesome product, unlimited skips, no adds, tons of artists, personally tailored all for $3 a month.
BUT, horribly buggy app. Freezes up and shuts down for a frequent user at least once a day. Gets bogged down and slow a lot. Search bar physcs out every other time you search. Needs a couple more updated features like music timer, wake up alarm, artist shuffler etc....
I would pay $10 for a seamless, flawless app. Just take the time and give us a good update, PLEASE!
Excellent for finding new artists
I don't mind having to pay for mobile access, it is a good service. The app could use some work. It will freeze on occasion and will also crash, I have had to delete and reinstall to get it working again. I wish there was more info in the app as well. But I am addicted to it, the music suggestions are pretty spot on. When paired with a compatible car radio it is perfect replacement for radio (no commercials!!).
